Ordering posts by publish date not working?

If the given code is correct it might be the missing brackets on your pre_get_posts conditional. Let’s format it with proper indentation and spacing: function alter_query( $query ) { if( $query->is_main_query() && is_home() ) $query->set( ‘cat’, ‘2’ ); $query->set( ‘orderby’, ‘rand’ ); } add_action( ‘pre_get_posts’,’alter_query’ ); Because there’s no brackets for your conditional statement, it … Read more
